Re: City in Crisis Talks as “Sultanagate†Overshadows Messi Bid
It all started to go downhill when they did away with those little trollies in the Kippax car park that sold those strange, pink, steamed "burgers" made out of unidentifiable (but probably tabby cat) meat. Add some soft, slightly warm, boiled onions and stick the whole concoction into a slightly damp stale bun, and you captured the taste of football as it should be. I often reminisce about those slimey and tasteless delicacies, and imagine that they were the original Football Pink, and not the newspaper of that name - in fact, I sometimes speculate that the paper was named after those little round pink patties.
It all started to go wrong when we started to allow those big moneybags vans where they fried the burgers and onions and had ready availability of red and brown sauce - you can buy bacon cheeseburgers now - it's wrong, I tell you, wrong! And now, the last bastion of a good footie feed, the pie, looks like it's about to fall into the abyss. If you really want to know when and where we sold our soul, look no further, it was in the demise of the boiled tabby burger - the start of that long, slippery slope to sultanas in the pies.`
Oh, for the old days, we just don't know what we've lost.
